As for ATR I'm testing the scoobs 200-20-3 EA with TP and SL based on daily ATR, with lots sized accordingly. In 6 hours its outperformed the original, also using the variable RSI function I posted earlier. A few more tweaks and crude display and I ...

Just glancing at it I believe I'm on to something. The Economic News indicator seems to work better if you pass the pair onto it in the first parameter like: iCustom( NewsPairs[d], 0, "Economic News", NULL, true, false, false, true, true, 1, 1); ...

I did not set alerts, there were no attempts to trade and no broker hiccups. Would changing market orders to limit orders solve this problem in the EA? In the mean time I'll try running it on one of my VPS' that gets a better ping to the broker.

Just want to say I really enjoy reading your commentary Strat. Insightful and entertaining. Subscribed, for all that is worth. Maybe one day you can tell your grandkids "If I had a nickel for each subscriber...."
